I remember the late 80’s at the UW-Madison when mainland Chinese students began showing up in noticeable numbers. I was frequently surprised in checkout lines at the bookstore or TYME machine by these tall, rude Asian guys butting into line and shouldering people aside. My intro to people from the PRC.

Are the Chinese you’re encountering still on the small side? I know the video is in Japanese and the guy is the standard 5’7″ Japanese engineering norm. But I thought PRC city-dwellers were pretty much Western-sized by now.

From your posts I’ve read, I gathered you spend more time in China than Japan now. Maybe that’s wrong.
